Answer:

D. Heavy rainfall saturated the soil and destabilized the over-steepened slope.

Explanation:

The mud slide must have occurred in La Conchita California due to heavy rainfall which saturated the soil and destabilized the over-steepened slope.

Mud slide or mud flow is a form of mass wasting in which slope moves downward due to instability of the materials. They usually influenced by the effect of gravity on steep slopes.

  • Prior to the mass moving event on the in the county, there was an unprecedented 14-15days streak of rainfall.
  • The rain saturated and lubricated the soil bringing a reduction in their cohesion and ultimate movement.
  • This led to the sliding down of the masses on the slope.
